Does iceland have lots of volcanoes because it's cold?
No. The formation of volcanoes is not affected by climate. Volcanoes are driven by forces deep inside the Earth, where it is always very hot. The volcanic activity in Iceland is driven by two factors. Fist, Iceland sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and European Plates are pulling apart. The crust is thin at this location, reducing pressure on the mantle and allowing some molten rock, called magma, to form. Iceland is also on top of a hot spot, where especially hot mantle material wells up and partially melts beneath the crust. The magma rises through the crust and reaches the surface to erupt from volcanoes.
